Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class Purge Valve Replacement

A faulty purge valve or regeneration valve for fuel vapor recovery can cause you to fail a SMOG test and throw an error code in the system. The purge valve opens to allow all the vapors that are captured from the fuel tank (especially during fill ups) to be recycled to the engine to be burnt once the engine has reached certain performance parameters. There are two lines attached to the valve. Even though it is very difficult to mix them up, as they are different sizes, pay attention and make sure you install the valve in the right direction. The line out from the valve to the connection by the throttle body is indicated by an arrow. You are going to destroy the factory clamps when you replace the valve so make sure you order replacement hose clamps when ordering the valve.
